Dear Laura,
I have committed the unthinkable! It pains me to say this but I... killed ten Grendels! All I did was push the airlock button! And it was by accident. Everyone calls me Beowulf and expects me to lead the ship! The Grendels are grouping up for an assault, the Ettins are stealing all our weapons, and I can't find any cheese. What should I do?

Dear NOT Beowulf,
Under normal circumstances, I would tell other Norns in your situation to skedaddle and keep a low profile in the ?My Creatures? folder, until things blow over, but you are no average Norn, Beowulf. No false alias can hide you from this destiny which has befallen you. You need to be brave, like your namesake, and face this head on! I think the most obvious plan of action is to rally support from the other Norns and, with them, lead an epic assault to victory against the Grendels. And don?t forget your kleptomaniac neighbours, the Ettins! Use the cheese from one of the dispensers to forge a pact with them (tell them they can use the cheese to barter for gadgets and machinery). They have the weapons at their disposal, so obviously it makes sense to have them fighting your corner with a Sludge Gun... Until the disapproving Hand comes along and breaks up the raucous that is.
